Spraying

5.1

Spraying Technique

The key to a good paint job is an even coating over the entire surface.
Keep your arm moving at a constant speed and keep the spray gun at
a constant distance from the surface. The best spraying distance is 25
to 30 cm between the spray tip and the surface.
Keep the spray gun at right angles to the surface. This means moving
your entire arm back and forth rather than just flexing your wrist.
Keep the spray gun perpendicular to the surface, otherwise one end
of the pattern will be thicker than the other.
Trigger gun after starting the stroke. Release the trigger before
ending the stroke. The spray gun should be moving when the trigger
is pulled and released. Overlap each stroke by about 30%. This will
ensure an even coating.
25 - 30 cm
When you stop painting, lock the gun trigger lock, turn the pressure
control knob counterclockwise to its lowest setting and set the
PRIME/SPRAY valve to PRIME. Move the motor ON/OFF switch to OFF
and unplug the sprayer.
If you expect to be gone more than 1 hour, follow the short term
clean up procedure described in the Cleanup section of this manual.

4. Turn the pressure control knob (2) clockwise to its highest
setting. The paint hose should stiffen as material begins to
flow through it.
5. Unlock the gun trigger lock by turning the switch so that it is
parallel to the handle.
6. Trigger the spray gun to bleed air out of the hose.
7. When material reaches the spray tip, spray a test area to check
the spray pattern.
8. Use the lowest pressure setting necessary to get a good spray
pattern. If the pressure is set too high, the spray pattern will
be too light. If the pressure is set too low, tailing will appear
or the paint will spatter out in blobs rather than in a fine spray.

Cleaning a Clogged Tip

1. Follow the "Pressure Relief Procedure" in the Operation
section of this manual.
2. If the tip clogs, rotate the tip handle 180° until the arrow on
the handle is facing the opposite of the spray direction and
the handle clicks in the reverse position.
3. Trigger the gun once so that the pressure can blow the clog
out. NEVER use the tip in the reverse position for more than
ONE trigger pull at a time. This procedure can be repeated
until the tip is free of clogging.
The flow from the spray tip is at very high pressure.
Contact with any body part may be dangerous. Do
not place finger on gun outlet. Do not point the gun
at any person. Never operate the spray gun without
the proper tip guard.
